Lots of interesting health stories seem to come out of actors’ real-life diagnoses. On B&B, Taylor lost Phoebe not long after Hunter Tylo’s real-life son died by drowning.

That therapist was the WORST. “You break the rule and you have to have sex with Ralph five times a day?” What?!?! He’s doing a major disservice to his profession on national television. Bad therapists can be so damaging to a person’s well-being.

They’re calling The Morning Show a “soap”? I guess just female-led “soapier” dramas? Also:

I wonder how much of that is Amanda Beall’s doing.

I wonder what the future holds for Kvitova, if she’s just in a slump or winding down her career:

Oh no, not even a question. It’s just funny that Nikki was talking about Diane being embarrassed in front of that audience of one random.

There are so many people and they are so bland and purposeless to be virtually indistinguishable. I just don’t know what they are aiming for. They are marking time and taking up space.

LOL at Nikki and Diane’s cat fight in front of the cleaning lady at Crimson Lights.

Preach. This has bugged me for years.

Oh totally. I do understand her feeling that it was reminiscent of Jerry Springer, but she instigated that fight and of course the producers milked it.

Totally. I’ve been watching a lot of Marland-era ATWT lately, and you definitely see today’s GH attempt a similar vision, but it’s just so poorly executed and scattershot. ATWT could be slow and repetitive too, but the characters and their relationships are so beautifully drawn (and have space to breathe) that you live for their every interaction. Carly/Nina are no Margo/Barbara.

15 dead according to Governor Abbott. No words.

This show is zzzzzzzz. Slow as hell (yet with these lightning-quick scenes), dreary, with a lot of poorly defined, aimless characters and nothing that seems to link them together as a community. The show has no vibe, no heart, no humor.

ABC News is now saying as many as 14 dead in this Texas elementary school shooting. Sick to my stomach:

Why is Elena telling all her business to Imani? Billy as the white man out of place. Triggered. I wonder if the show would actually go there. Make Billy voice discomfort as the only white guy in a company with majority-black leadership. Right now, they are dancing around the elephant in the room by calling it a “family” thing.

That’s a good one. Also, Alicia Coppola mentioned that her father died just before Lorna’s father Lucas passed away on AW, and the story actually helped her grieve.

There are some obvious ones (Sonny’s bipolar diagnosis on GH, Katherine’s alcoholism and facelift on Y&R), but are there any others you can think of?

Rune took Shapo out in straights. Yikes.
